Hoping for something better |
[00:10.01] |
Hoping for something better |
[00:11.43] |
I'm from where we have little respect for the law |
[00:13.61] |
And even less for rich people that pretend to be poor |
[00:16.48] |
Cold blooded hold grudges settle our scores |
[00:19.73] |
Live low budget commit benefit fraud |
[00:22.42] |
No justice, I perish the thought |
[00:25.14] |
Fuck weapons of war, chose the pen instead of the sword |
[00:28.08] |
Try and relate, we're forced to acquire a taste |
[00:31.23] |
For food past expiry dates |
[00:33.58] |
Who’s deciding my fate? |
[00:34.89] |
Will I rise to where messiah awaits? |
[00:36.65] |
Or plunge into hell's fiery lakes |
[00:39.30] |
They fight till the death, stay bad to the bone |
[00:41.98] |
Turn the price on your head to a tag on your toe |
[00:44.84] |
Live and direct, never watered down |
[00:47.49] |
I'm living life on the edge till someone talks me down |
[00:50.72] |
Grew up on the wrong side of the tracks |
[00:53.09] |
Stuck in London's underbelly fighting for scraps |
[00:56.40] |
This is where we live |
[00:57.42] |
This is where we die |
[00:58.53] |
This is where we laugh |
[00:59.55] |
This is where we cry |
[01:00.63] |
Hoping for something better |
[01:02.14] |
This is where we dream |
[01:03.04] |
This is where we work |
[01:04.10] |
This is where we bleed |
[01:05.14] |
This is where we hurt |
[01:06.20] |
So let's come together |
[01:07.65] |
This is where we live |
[01:08.41] |
This is where we die |
[01:09.58] |
This is where we laugh |
[01:10.70] |
This is where we cry |
[01:11.78] |
Hoping fo something better |
[01:13.08] |
This is where we dream |
[01:14.14] |
This is where we work |
[01:15.31] |
This is where we bleed |
[01:16.38] |
This is where we hurt |
[01:17.38] |
So let's come together |
[01:18.73] |
A place where silent nights are nonexistent |
[01:21.30] |
Life of crime violent fights and constant killings |
[01:24.37] |
Making right and wrong decisions |
[01:25.94] |
If it's a free country, why do I feel trapped by the cost of living? |
[01:29.88] |
I'm between a nine to five and writing rhymes |
[01:33.03] |
You gotta take what you want or get what you're given |
[01:35.38] |
So true |
[01:35.79] |
A loss of vision from things shining bright |
[01:38.41] |
Is what your blinded by |
[01:39.74] |
Stop |
[01:40.29] |
And listen |
[01:41.12] |
Cause everything that glitters ain't gold |
[01:43.05] |
And ain't no turning back cause life is like a one way road |
[01:46.64] |
We're seen differently through the eye of big brother |
[01:49.54] |
Though we all bleed red despite the skin colour |
[01:52.69] |
I feel like I'm fucked 'till my times up |
[01:55.35] |
Cause reality bites and life sucks |
[01:57.82] |
Blood, we're in a trap and gonna get the fuck out somehow |
[02:01.76] |
Ask my boy Keedo |
[02:02.94] |
He know |
[02:03.85] |
This is where we live |
[02:04.81] |
This is where we die |
[02:05.89] |
This is where we laugh |
[02:06.93] |
This is where we cry |
[02:08.09] |
Hoping for something better |
[02:09.56] |
This is where we dream |
[02:10.41] |
This is where we work |
[02:11.51] |
This is where we bleed |
[02:12.53] |
This is where we hurt |
[02:13.61] |
So let's come together |
[02:14.93] |
This is where we live |
[02:15.98] |
This is where we die |
[02:17.05] |
This is where we laugh |
[02:18.13] |
This is where we cry |
[02:19.26] |
Hoping for something better |
[02:20.46] |
This is where we dream |
[02:21.60] |
This is where we work |
[02:22.80] |
This is where we bleed |
[02:23.83] |
This is where we hurt |
[02:24.86] |
So let's come together |
[02:26.14] |
This is London where the devil never calls in advance |
[02:28.60] |
Because smoke |
[02:29.43] |
Life's a journey |
[02:29.98] |
I'm just walking the path |
[02:31.49] |
Growing up I learned some big lessons |
[02:33.57] |
With weapons lives come to swift ends in split seconds |
[02:37.01] |
Best believe, we ain't playing happy families |
[02:39.58] |
At times my yard's descended into savage anarchy |
[02:42.94] |
Most lack morality |
[02:44.27] |
Money ain't the root of all evil its people's selfish rationality |
[02:49.04] |
One love to my brothers in arms |
[02:51.23] |
And those struggling past on government grants |
[02:54.77] |
We're all exactly the same |
[02:55.80] |
We battle in vain like blood cells fighting off cancerous plague |
[02:59.54] |
Rogues roaming on road holding loaded revolvers |
[03:02.23] |
So I got my eyes open looking over my shoulder |
[03:05.49] |
Morals dissolve in the crack smoke |
[03:07.70] |
This is London |
[03:08.80] |
Where blood runs colder than cash flow |
[03:11.15] |
This is where we live |
[03:12.27] |
This is where we die |
[03:13.36] |
This is where we laugh |
[03:14.39] |
This is where we cry |
[03:15.47] |
Hoping for something better |
[03:16.87] |
This is where we dream |
[03:17.87] |
This is where we work |
[03:18.97] |
This is where we bleed |
[03:19.97] |
This is where we hurt |
[03:21.00] |
So let's come together |
[03:22.53] |
This is where we live |
[03:23.44] |
This is where we die |
[03:24.46] |
This is where we laugh |
[03:25.55] |
This is where we cry |
[03:26.65] |
Hoping for something better |
[03:28.15] |
This is where we dream |
[03:29.05] |
This is where we work |
[03:30.15] |
This is where we bleed |
[03:31.20] |
This is where we hurt |
[03:32.33] |
So let's come together |
[03:33.33] |
This is London!!! |
